The BBC Proms is reaching out to new audiences with a performance of the theme tune from Doctor Who, free concerts, maypole dancing in Kensington Gardens and street musicians.

Roger Wright, the new Proms director, denied that the arrival of the Tardis at the Albert Hall meant that the music festival was dumbing down. It was, he said, only one of 150 events in which the world’s greatest performers can be heard for as little as £5.
